May 1: “Peach Boy” and Rocking Koinobori Carp
May 5th in Japan is Kodomo no Hi or Children’s Day. Join us in celebrating the individual strengths and happiness of children with a reading of Momotaro, also known as “Peach Boy.” Following the amusing kamishibai tale of the most popular hero of Japanese folklore, make your own rocking koinobori carp. These flying fish symbolize strength and determination – a reminder to the young (as well as the young-at-heart!) that great things can be accomplished with courage and perseverance.
